    Gaelic Place Names

    Alright, so I'm needing a little help. I don't know where I can find accurate English to Gaelic Translators. Anyway, the reason I ask is because some of my territories in the realm I'm writing for in my world may sound a bit silly, OR in the event someone who legitimately knows Gaelic reads my material, they might just laugh OR be offended by how sloppy it is :P

    So really, what I'm looking for are the following translations:

    Mountain City
    Mountain Town

    Rocky City
    Rocky Town

    Valley City
    Valley Town

    Grassland City
    Grassland Town

    Ocean City
    Ocean Town

    Plus, I'm looking for definitions of "highland," "highlands," "lowland," "lowlands," "highlander(s)," and "lowlander(s)" ...

    If anyone is able to help, thanks >.> I'm not sure I trust myself with those online translator thingies.

    Being Irish I can translate them to the best of my ability into Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic).

    Mountain city - cathair sliabh
    Mountain town - Baile mor sliabh

    Rocky city - cathair carraig
    Rocky town - baile mor carraig

    Valley city - cathair gleann
    Valley town - baile mor gleann

    Grassland city - cathair fearach
    Grassland town - baile mor fearach

    Ocean city - cathair aigean
    Ocean town - baile mor aigean

    They should be correct translations. If you're not sure about the accuracy of an online Gaelic translator I think there's a forum where you can ask people for translations, I can't remember what it's called at the moment.

    If you have further translation needs, I have used this forum in the past. Seems to be quite a few fluent Irish Gaelic speakers active there, or at least there were when I was using it more regularly.
